Screen Painter in ASP Mode

When Screen Painter is accessed in ASP mode, changes you make to screens will apply to all properties that belong to your chain. (Outside of ASP mode, Screen Painting changes apply to all properties configured in the Opera database schema.)

Note: When screens are modified in ASP mode, affected files (e.g., PLLS) are made available to other application servers by placing them in a shared UNC directory.

Accessing Screen Painter in ASP Mode

Select Configuration>Setup>Screen Design>Screen Painter. The Opera Screen Painter screen appears. When in ASP mode, [ASP Mode] is displayed in the title bar.

When working with Screen Painter palettes, the title bar will show ASP Mode and your chain code in brackets. (This is the chain code that was selected when you logged in to Opera in ASP mode.)

Changes to Triggers in ASP Mode

In ASP mode, any changes to conditions (i.e., triggers) can only take place when the server is restarted. Because of this, the following message appears when a change is made to a field condition and the form is saved: "In ASP mode any changes to conditions will only take place after the next scheduled downtime."
